I have a Hayward SuperPump SP2610X15 that was running a non-original motor (Century B129) that has finally gave up on me. I am not faced with a decision on what motor to replace it with as I believe that it was too big for my SuperPump which I would assume came with a 1.5 HP with a SF of 1.0; the B129 is a 1.5HP and SF of 1.3. My setup is simple (single skimmer, no drain) with 1.5" pipes and a Hayward S244T Sand Filter. So my question is the B129 (effectively 1.95 rated HP) too big for my pool and should I be using something close to the original motor? I have looked at the V-Green 1.65 VS motor replacement but I am not sure that I want to spend extra on it since I have an older pump. My AC unit went down and I'm tasked with the expense of replacing it tomorrow so I just cannot spring for the whole pump replacement today.
Thanks in advance.
